Mashed Up Play Date

The vertical orientation of this sketch wasn't working for me so I flipped it.  Figured if Diva Moe can do it so can I {grin}.

I combined it with this week's Play Date Cafe colour challenge and The Friday Mash Up challenge to use leaves and twine on your card.  Hello!!  Did anyone say leaves, wink, wink.

Hang in there!  Fall will soon be over and I'll be moving on to Christmas cards and you can get sick of those for a change of pace LOL!

Having fun playing with my burlap and went with the cream colour this time round.   Love the texture it gives a card!! Added some embossed wood grain in the background and "Look, Ma!! No maple leaf!!"  Used some different leaves this time.  A few buttons with a bit of green twine and I was good to go :)

Have a fabulous day and thanks for visiting today.

Friday Mash Up Without the Mash

Loved this Friday Mashup sketch with the tag but didn't delve into the ghosting technique (VersaMark emboss resist), thus the lack of "mash" LOL :)

The sketch provided a perfect opportunity to use some PTI goodies: one of their wonderful tag dies and of course, my all time favorite flower die...happy sigh... :)   I paired the flower with my favorite Verve leaf die, and used various shades of grey on the card.

I'm hoping the dark grey and black haven't dominated the card....what do you think?  I vacillated between yes and no (ever do that on a card?!) and finally just left it as is since I don't have the luxury of letting the card "rest" for a day so I can see it with fresh eyes in the morning.  You see, Wednesday is our crazy day as I have to drive my son to soccer practice, then come home and feed my daughter dinner and whisk her off to piano, and upon our return from piano promptly head out the door to bible study with my hubby!  All that to say the challenge deadline is tonite and this has to go live sooner than later.

Thanks for sharing a bit of you time with me :)   I so appreciate your comments  - they make my day and provide fuel when my creative tank is empty ((hugs)).
